Returning Player need to update Ground and Space Builds

Hi team,
Got a Fed ENG in a t6 Fleet Odyssey (the latest version)
and a FED Tac in a Fleet t6 Defiant

I've got 8200 ZEN to play with (Lifetime Sub from way back)
Both ships are running the MACO sets (are these even still useful?)

I like to keep my builds semi canon. E.G my Defiant has Turrets on the rear with a quantum Torp launcher in the middle, Forward weapons array is 3 dual phaser heavy canons, they're all XIV and fully upgraded with a fore quantum launcher too.

The Oddy has straight phaser beams, upgraded to the top level, XIV All my weapons are Very rare or Ultra Rare.

I know this read's rough, but if anyone can just show this noob a straight build as well as which consoles etc and abilities are best to level, I can easily do a full respec and buy what I need.

Is the best way to get EC quick still to sell master keys on the exchange?

    Now what I want is a bild for someone who is poor, can't buy purple everything weapons and systems and will probably be stuck with white equipment on a brand new T6

    This is more suited to be posted in the Academy. Feedback is for pre existing in game mechanics etc @baddmoonrizin

    You might want to have a look at the Cheap DPS Builds over at the DPS League Site.

    There are plenty of example builds there for ships using mostly items dropped from mission rewards. That should give you a pretty good start on your build.

    Feel free to post if you have a specific question.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1251873/build-t6-fleet-valiant Pretty decent Defiant build, if you don't have the fleet consoles just get the standard consoles.

    Going from the DPS site mentioned earlier:
    https://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/b729f7db47457c561511f1fa959710d3

    However instead of the expensive universal consoles in the science slots:
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Console_-_Universal_-_Approaching_Agony
    and
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Console_-_Universal_-_Deconstructive_Resonance_Emitter

    You can also use these mission rewards:
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Quantum_Phase_Catalysts
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Trilithium-Laced_Weaponry (Don't use Torpedo)

    Further down the line you can look into the Tier 6 reputation weapons.
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Task_Force_Ordnances#Phaser_Variant

    Last in line for consideration, a set which is quite popular these days but lacks a DHC
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Lorca's_Ambition

    Overall it should be sufficient for most content and while you play you can look at various possibilities at your own pace.

    Edit:
    Forgot to mention that the plasmonic leech is no longer a staple of any build. If you have spare room you can use it, but in case of the T6 Defiant it is probably better to use the console of the quantum phase set.

    Also forgot to mention the T6 (phaser) option of the Terran reputation:
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Terran_Task_Force_Munitions#Phaser_Variant
    The DHC can be used as a standalone.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Just note that the skill tree on this build needs updating.

    Space: 3 points into particle gens could be changed to 1 or none, both the single point into either hull cap or engineering readiness could be left out. The redistribution of single point each into hull plating, and defensive and offensive sub-tuning would be the goal.

    Ground: Option 1 - Take both points in armor and the single point in endurance training and redistribute into 2 points of kit efficiency and a second point in armor pen (a popular option). Option 2 - if you wear some of the older armors or want some higher resists take 1 point from armor and put it into kit efficiency.
